To determine if a distributor is a sustainable supplier, the EPA recommends using the Sustainable Purchasing Tool, developed by The Ashkin Group.

“The ‘Tool’ helps purchasers differentiate between those jansan distributors that have sustainability programs in place and those that do not,” says Ashkin.

“Invariably, those distributors that do, are ‘walking their talk.’ They are more aware of the importance of these issues and [are] better equipped to help administrators become Greener and more sustainability-focused as well.”
